Useful tidbits for macOS

.emacs

This is my usual Emacs configuration file. Most options are commented with a short explanation.

Evernote Export

I use this very simple AppleScript to export my Evernote notes nightly before my computer backs itself up. It is a source file but you can use Script Editor to turn it into an executable script.

Support for AppleScript was removed in Evernote 10. Overall Evernote has been plagued with bugs and is overpriced as a result so I have since moved to Joplin.

Evernote Sed

This script applies sed commands to all my notes' titles. You should use the osascript command to invoke this script from the command line.

Support for AppleScript was removed in Evernote 10. Overall Evernote has been plagued with bugs and is overpriced as a result so I have since moved to Joplin.

TrueCrypt Auto-mount Favorites

This plist file can be used to mount all your favorited TrueCrypt images on login. Simply put that file in your ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ directory and then load it using the following command:

$ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.truecrypt.auto-mount-favorites.plist

TrueCrypt is discontinued so I have migrated to VeraCrypt. There is an easier way to do this with VeraCrypt, simply configure macOS to open the encrypted file on login

kext-switch

The kernel extensions of VirtualBox and macFUSE / OSXFuse sometimes conflict with each other. This script allows you to choose which one you want to run using the following commands:

$ kext-swtich fuse $ kext-swtich vbox $ kext-swtich status

Shamelessly inspired of macfuse/macfuse#315 (comment).
